LOZ Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Opps, I need a new passenger-side wing mirror (the mirror bit not the whole arm) had a argument with a Land Rover and a tongue lashing from its driver! :( I know I may beable to pick one up from a scrap yard, but they've all gone where I live! All I know its electric - it moves and heats up! If I bought a new one what price I am expecting to pay? and do I have to go to FORD ? Also the CV joint on the same side needs some attention (according the results of my MOT). Can I get this done anywhere else other than Ford (someone specialising in steering & suspension) and how much would it be about? I'm hoping to get these done soon in readiness of the holiday season! and I don't want to be ripped off!!!!! :rolleyes: Quote
Guest 2MPV Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Depending on the age of you Galaxy, I replaced mine with a VW mirror, as it has the built in blind spot area, it was a few years ago, but it was cheaper than the Ford Quote

Didnt realise the mirrors were substantial enough to damage a Land Rover :rolleyes: :( Also the CV joint on the same side needs some attention (according the results of my MOT). Can I get this done anywhere else other than Ford (someone specialising in steering & suspension) and how much would it be about?Phone around, any garage should be able to do this job, steering and suspension is not affected. Out of interest what did it fail on? Split boot? Inner or outer? Boots can be replaced and I don't think inner CV joints are MOT failures.. Quote
Jim Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Try www.gsfcarparts.com or www.eurocarparts.com/download.htm for the parts. Had to include the download page as their server is having problems with asp pages at the minute. Don't know about the Galaxy, but they were much cheaper than VW for the CV boots and bottom straight arm for my Passat. Quote
Xenonman Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Does the VW Sharan or the Alhambra have blind spot mirrors that would fit the Galaxy. I wouldn't mind getting hold of a nearside mirror with the blind spot curve on it. Quote
seatkid Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 The VW/SEAT mirrors are different design to the FORD on models starting 98. The FORD mirrors look the same as the original universal design. Quote
Richmond Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 I had to replace the n/s wing mirror on mine. Ford dealer charged about Quote
Mussey1 Posted February 9, 2004 Report Posted February 9, 2004 LOZ, I posted a message regarding CV joints, had to have passenger side joint replaced just before Christmas. Look under topic 'Considering an Import' in Questions about the Galaxy forum. If you need any more info just ask!! Cheers! Mussey1. Quote
